The Big Sur update due to come to Mac’s later this month is also bringing an update to Safari with support for 4K YouTube. A missing feature that lead to customers like myself switching to Chrome. With the update coming to Big Sur, it makes sense for Apple to start to widely adopt 4K YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users on the latest update tvOS 14 released last month will start to see 4K YouTube as it starts to gradually roll out. Unfortunately 4K YouTube is currently limited to 30fps and will not support HDR. Alternatively 1440p will support 60fps. Hopefully we will see these limitations lifted in future tvOS updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
